Sandy tells the quick version of the cruise story.

Kathryn smiled at Samuel, "It was a mutual ****," she told him.

"I have no doubt." he answered as he sat down in a chair.

Just then Peggy stepped back in with a six pack of Bud Light along with a bottle of Captain Morgan and Coca Cola.

"Babe, you are my shining star," Samuel said.

"Heh," Peggy said. "You get the next round. Strict turns." She laid the drinks on the table and put a hand on her hip.

"It'll be in the pre-nup, babe," he said. "Right next to 'Wife wears no bottoms at home.'"

"Pre-nup, you wish," Peggy said. "You're just after my business."

"I got your mama on my side, Peg, it's just a matter of time," Samuel said.

Peggy laughed. "Yep, two years for your architecture degree, and ten years paying off the mortgage on your sheepskin."

"You're an architecture student?" Bryan asked Samuel.

Peggy ducked back into the kitchen.

"Sure as Julius Caesar was a switch hitter," Samuel said.

"Huh?" Bryan said.

Peter supplied, "Caesar had male lovers as well as female. At least there were strong rumors."

Peggy returned with a tray of tall ice-filled glasses for the rum-and-cokes. Before she could start pouring, a gasp from the TV pulled everyone's head around.

On TV, Samuel's friend, a cute, dark-skinned woman with a velvet-short haircut, gasped and whimpered as she neared orgasm. Samuel had pulled out of her. He held her labia open, showing the bright pink of her inner folds tinged with smears of blood where his penis had torn her hymen fully open. Samuel was quickly strumming her clit with his other hand.

"OhSamOhSamOhSamOhyeahhhh..." she moaned. "DoItDoItDoItDoIt, oh yeah, oh yeah baby, yeah, there, there, there, SamBabyYeahGonnaYeahGonnaYeahGonna ... AHH FUCK!" Her head tossed from side to side and her expression screwed up into an intense orgasm face. After a couple of minutes of bucking and moaning under Samuel's skilled touch, she fell back on the pillow, panting as her sweat-sheened skin cooled. Samuel laid his head next to her and murmured something. Peggy came back into the frame and embraced the young woman from the other side. She sighed at Peggy's touch. Peggy whispered something into her ear.

Samuel muted the sound. "There's kind of a long stretch here where it's just us mumbling at each other."

"Pillow talk?" Kathryn said. "That's sweet."

"Yeah," Peggy said. "Samuel was really good talkin' her through it. She really got what she wanted out of him. My first time was no damn good except for being a tease to make me want to find out what it was really like."

"Much less my first time," Sandy said, looking down. Peter squeezed her hand. Sandy brought her lips to his ear and kissed it, then whispered, "Your dad brought me back to wanting guys again. Your dad and Hank brought me back so I was ready to love you." Peter turned his face to Sandy's. They kissed and hugged each other.

"Sorry babe," Samuel said to Peggy, "I was still at Hebrew school when you got going."

"Oh shut up, you were not," Peggy said, slapping Samuel's forearm where the short sleeve of his red and gold football shirt left it unprotected.

"It was actually prep school," Samuel said. "But my dad's second wife was Jewish. She did make me and dad get circumcised. Dad agreed 'cause it's a Muslim thing too, he was kind of into that then. Had a stepbrother who did actually go to Hebrew school. Sis did too, she was the only black kid there. I guess you'd call her bi-racial these days. But Sis did just marry a rabbi so I guess she's Jewish enough for his mama."

Peter sipped his Bud Light. The cool, malty taste was good on this warm evening, but he set it down, not wanting to dull what was left of his edge even a little.

A melting ice cube slipped and clinked in one of the glasses.

"Whoops, where are my manners?" Peggy said. "Who wants rum and coke?"

"Tiny splash," Kathryn said. "I don't want to fall asleep by accident."

"For you," Peggy said, handing Kathryn a barely-spiked coke.

"Me," Sandy said.

"You," her sister replied with a nod, giving Sandy a regular-strength drink.

"Just coke," Bryan said. He was Kate's designated driver any time it was dark outside.

"Virgin for you," Peggy said, handing Bryan an iced glass of fizzy sugar water.

"Hey, I thought I got all the virgins," Samuel joked.

"You want one?" Peggy said. "I'll serve you up one."

"Don't want a virgin that bad. Give me a shot and a half," Samuel said.

Peggy poured a strong drink for Samuel. She cupped her hand around his after he took the drink. Her pink, lightly freckled hand lay lightly on his rich, dark brown skin.

"So tell us about the cruise!" Peggy said. "It sounded like it was a lot of fun. Even more fun than you were expecting, huh?"

Bryan and Kathryn looked at each other, then at Peggy. "Uh-huh," they said.

Sandy and Peter laughed. Samuel snorted, then chuckled.

"So tell me!" Peggy said. "Sandy? I was so jealous you got to go, and with who, too. Like, four of the best regulars from my favorite party, and your boyfriend."

"Well, I WAS trying to be faithful to Peter," Sandy said, "And I cooled it with Jim and Sally when I found out they were Peter's mom and dad, as well as being party regulars." She nodded to Peggy. "But anyway here's the quick story." She took a deep breath. "Pete and me and his mom and dad and Hank and Veevee Menard started off, Veevee ran into Kate and hit it off, she invited Bryan and Kate for dinner, Kate made me and Veevee and Sally go all goo-goo after her, and me and Bryan got a tingle, me and Pete went to the ship's dance club with Bryan and Kate, we ran into Amber, she's a ship's steward, she'd already made it with Bryan and Kate, would you believe, pow, the first afternoon. Anyway in the club we swapped stories, how we met and what kind of party experience we had, they have some too from college, sharing with girls pretty much, then me and Kate got touchy in the ladies' room, and after that the four of us all went back to Peter's cabin and had a little party together, and y'know, Kathryn squirts! Up to the ceiling!"

Kathryn blushed but nodded, as Peggy and Samuel looked her way.

"We all slept together and kinda started up again in the morning, Pete's mom and dad and Hank and Veevee came in when we were, you know, reeking of sex, and Veevee and Sally just stepped forward and got into it with Kate and Bryan. After that the cruise was just kind of like a party with the eight of us plus sometimes Amber, a long slow rolling party, talk, sex, rest, y'know, until we hit the rogue wave. That was scary. Oh yeah and Pete?" she said, nodding to her boyfriend.

Peter swallowed and cleared his throat, "Veevee noticed I was staring at my mom's pussy after my dad climbed off. Veevee mentioned it to my mom and that got my mom thinking about me and watching my cock. She asked Sandy if she was open to sharing me and they ran a little switch when I was blindfolded. After I opened my eyes to see mom sucking me and Sandy smiling, it was kinda one thing after another -- you know I'm bi, mostly with Gary, right?"

Peggy and Samuel nodded.

"Mostly," Samuel said with a laugh. "You and Hank were havin' some good weenie time together that last party where I saw you."

"Anyway," Peter continued, "I did it with my mom."

Peggy winked. "That evens you up with Sandy."

"Right," Sandy said, giving her sister a steady gaze.

"Um," Peter said. "My dad and Sandy were there holding our hands. And we spent the rest of the night together. All four of us. Every way. Me and my dad too."

"Yeah, Jim's one of the regular switch hitters, along with Hank," Samuel said. "Wow man. Your mom and dad. First on your block for sure."

Kathryn looked at Sandy and tilted her wrist. "Do you think...?"

"Oh yeah, that's why you got the fast story," Sandy said. "Let me get some clothes and stuff." She jumped up from her chair.

"I packed for you," Peggy said. "The bag's right by your door."

"You're an angel, Peggy!" Sandy said. She bent over and kissed her sister quickly on the lips.

"I figured maybe that would give us some time for a tiny little party before you run back."

"Your sister, she's Delilah and Jezebel all in one," Samuel said. "Got a kiss for me, Sandy?"

Sandy turned her back, slipped down her stretch pants and mooned Samuel. "Kiss this!"
